Week 39 Food Storage Challenge

50 pounds Wheat or Flour/Matches50 pounds of wheat or flour. If you are storing wheat be sure to use it regularly so your family gets use to eating it. It will be very hard to all the sudden introduce it in a crisis situation plus your body also needs to get use to eating it. Plus it gives you time to learn how to cook with it and work out any kinks you may have.Matches If you can get strike anywhere matches they are the best but they are hard to find.
